'Wiliam" promo poster on Ebay is reprint

There's a seller going by the name Cufri11 who has two Smiths promo posters up on ebay right now (William + Smiths debut). I had suspicions this was the seller who tried to rip me off years back, so I wrote to ask if they were reprints. He admitted they were. He has a printing press in California. Beware!

Damn. And the debut LP poster is almost too perfect ...the size is just half an inch off...

Yep, bastard indeed. Two years ago I bid on the William poster, and won it for $110US. Before I paid someone emailed and warned me it was fake. They told me to outright ask the seller if it was fake. I emailed him, he admitted it. So thankfully I was saved from losing the money. He's been kicked off ebay using various accounts; notice he has no sales history. I thought it might be him again, so I emailed to see if it was a reprint and he said it was indeed.

I asked if they were reprints(I knew they were) and he said he just got them and he didn't know but they looked great. So I said the sizes are off and he said, "I know, I printed them, just trying to make some money" I said "you are going to piss a lot of people off and everyone knows all your accounts" so I reported him..hehe

To be fair, they did say it was a high quality repro. The sizing is also different. This seller is a good one, unlike that one selling the The Smiths and William it was really nothing posters. That one was trying to mislead or hope to trick buyers.
